Just in case any of you thought I knew that our prices would decline as they have, I want you to know that no-one I know had this knowledge. If they had, or if I had, I would have told you. We bought at the peak of the market and our housing value is in the same boat as many of my reader’s home values. Consider this:

Historically, American home values are the best long term investment.

Historically, Americans stay in their homes an average of 7 years.

In some ways, our houses are like stocks market values. They are what they are. You cannot sell your stocks for less than what they’re worth, period.

We’re in America, the number one nation on earth. If you bought at the peak, consider relaxing, enjoying your home, and wait that 7 years. Our area has been identified as the number one area expected to rebound in terms of housing prices.

I hope you’re having a fabulous summer and that you’re enjoying the fruits of your labor!
